Hopfield/Brody mouse (mus silicium)

Time-warp-invariant computation with action potentials

In December 2000,
the Inference Group
won both parts of
Hopfield and Brody's `mouse brain' competition.

For competition A, the challenge was to explain
how a simulated `mouse brain' made up of about a thousand neurons
performed speech recognition;
competition B required
entrants to construct their own simulated brain, capable of speech
recognition on a ten-word vocabulary, like Hopfield and Brody's.
